To Beth, Brian and Family, I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your Mother. I hope that you find peace in the memories of good times shared and that the peace stays with you forever. To Beth, I want you to know that your friends are thinking about you, you've been through so much. If it's any help, your friends and former teammates always speak so well of you. I will be praying for you and your family. Dave Forte (CLASS OF 76)
